    Vega Japan from Xiom: Technology drives the new world of table tennis. Internal Mechanic Boost of Hyper Elasto IMB generation opens the new opportunity for Vega users. Tuned to make more spin energy easier, Vega Japan makes the power-charged spin and allows for flexible control. Service return and topspin attacks are far more accurate and consistent to give real-life advantages in your game. Energized spin also drops the ball quicker and lower at the opponent's court. Specially constructed Carbo sponge synchronizes perfectly with the energy mechanism of Vega Japan. Ball capturing at the contact is very solid, yet also superbly comfortable.

    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe stability of the drive is amazing, perfect for drive players. All techniques are easy to execute with performance that exceeds expectations for the price.
    ▽ CriticalShort lifespan with slipping sensation after one month of use. Serves don't catch as expected and touch shots tend to float more than desired.

      It gets a good amount of spin and holds the ball well.
      The speed is about average, I'd say.
      For the price, I think this level of performance is really good.

      My impression of using this on the forehand — the biggest thing is that drives draw a nice arc and are really stable. The sheet grips the ball well, so I can hit shot after shot in a row. Both the push and the stop in the short game are stable and easy to control. That said, drives draw a pretty high arc, and against backspin they're very stable, but sometimes the ball doesn't get much spin at all and comes out as a flat, weak ball, which can get countered — that's the downside. Still, I think it's a rubber with really good value for the price.

      Hideyoshi Kinoshita (Experience: 4〜5 years) This is good

      Reviews by user

      I've tried every rubber in the Vega series except the China version, and I think this one is the best choice for the forehand. The grip is excellent, and it doesn't feel too hard — it grips the ball nice and naturally. It's great for hitting drives, really easy. The only thing is the short game might be a little tricky (you'll be fine once you get used to it). If you want to build the fundamentals of your drive, this rubber is ideal. I think Vega Japan on the forehand and Vega Europe on the backhand is a good combo.
      It's not really suited for beginners. Once you're good enough to make the city top 8, you'll really understand how great this rubber is. So I'd recommend it to intermediate or advanced players who want a nicer blade but a cheaper rubber!!

      Yudeta Mago Amazing spin

      Reviews by user

      I tried it on serves and drives, and it gets a lot of spin — really good!
      I felt like it gets even more spin than Vega Asia.

      Yutchi@Cut Great grip on the ball!

      Reviews by user

      This is a rubber that just grips the ball, no matter what!
      It feels like Vega Asia with a bit less speed and a lot more grip added on.
      Driving backspin balls up is super easy, and against topspin you do feel some of the opponent's spin.
      The chop is simply wonderful — for control and sharpness it's every bit as good as Tenergy. Not just Vega Japan, the whole Vega line is really an amazing series...

      cutter (Experience: 6〜10 years) Great grip on the ball!!

      Reviews by user

      The grip on the ball is just incredibly strong — I'd say this might be the best in the Vega series.
      Within the Vega line, I think it's closest to Vega Asia.
      It feels like Vega Asia but with the grip cranked way up, so of course you're more affected by the opponent's spin!
      This is a rubber that really transforms in the hands of a player who can read the opponent's spin.

      Idai (Experience: 4〜5 years) Well balanced. Especially the spin

      Reviews by user

      This is a rubber I used before. I had it on my forehand. It's easy to put spin on with a drive. But it's hard, so the ball sometimes flies out on you quite a bit. I'd recommend putting it on the forehand.
